Subscriptions man.... Why post them.
Lol…I forgot…here’s part of the article..you can figure out who they talked to lol
“One thing the Penguins could have done was make a change behind the bench. But they retained Sullivan, a decision Ferraro and Boudreau both understood.
“I think Mike Sullivan is a hell of coach,” Boudreau said. “All good coaches, they look at what they’ve got and have ideas of how they want to play. But if it’s not working, they change it. Mike Sullivan will look over everything this summer and say, ‘OK, we have to make
some adjustments.’ And then he’ll make them.”
Ferraro echoed that. But he noted the roster is constructed to play an up-tempo style and said it could be problematic if they installed a totally different system.
Another area of interest is the goaltending situation. Dubas recently supported Jarry and said the Penguins
could let Nedeljkovic leave in free agency and go with Blomqvist as the backup. Button believes sticking with Jarry is a mistake.
Ferraro thinks Jarry is an above-average starter with untapped upside. But he, too, used the words “inconsistent” and “unreliable” to describe the former All-Star.
Said Button, “You can bolster your lineup. You can get more speed and a little more youth. You can do everything right, and [goaltending] can still sink you.”
To
get back to Cup contention in the short term, the Penguins will need that and a bunch of other things to break right. It may be impossible for them to pull it off.
But Button said they might as well keep going for it — within reason, of course.
“I’m not suggesting you go and be silly about it,” he said. “But when you have so much money committed to players, what are they going to do? Not try to win?”
